Hi, Can someone please help me with this, I'm 99% sure it is Gameex-related: Configuration: I have two rather old PCs running WindowsXP Pro SP3, one with an X-Arcade Dual Joystick, the other with an X-Arcade Tankstick. I only use Gameex with Mame for the time being. Everything is configured correctly, I can control both Mame games and Gameex with the X-Arcade joysticks/buttons. I can play with any game for hours on both computers. Problem: if I leave the computers alone for 20-25 minutes, either with a Mame game running or just Gameex set to "screensaver mode", the X-Arcade joysticks/buttons don't react anymore. The keyboard inputs work fine, as everything else...except the X-Arcade joysticks/buttons. Gameex somehow "forgets" there is an X-Arcade controller connected. I can do nothing else but press Escape and restart the system to make it work again. I would tend to suspect a cable/USB problem or something inside the X-Arcade controller but, again, I have the same problem on two different PCs and two different X-Arcade controllers. Now, here is what I tried so far: 1) Starting WinXp and launching notepad only. If I press the X-Arcade buttons, the inputs work fine, the fonts are displayed on screen. Leaving the machine alone for 30 minutes. Pressing the X-Arcade buttons again: inputs still working. 2) Starting WinXp with MameUI32 only. Everything works perfectly well, even if I leave the game on for a while. When I get back I can still use the X-Arcade(s). So the issue only seems to appear with Gameex (which is the best frontend EVER nonetheless). Any suggestion/solution would be really much appreciated.

My GameEx was working fine and loading games great on my initial configuration with just a keyboard. I then added the X-Arcade Tankstick contoller to the PC, have that controller working fine (via MAME test utility) and tried running my first game with the Tankstick controller. GameEx loaded fine, I selected a game (various ones that worked previously) and it proceeded to load. The game ROM began launching, with the controller joystick and button layout on the screen display. The screen faded out, and then the display came back to the GameEx screen with the "Play This Game" at the top of the menu display. None of the games are loading or playing. I disconnected the Tankstick completely and tried running GameEx again, but same results occurred when trying to launch MAME games. Help please. Thanks, BH GameEx.ini log.txt
